Hey all-
I had an erratic oil temp/warning yesterday. This is the second time I've had this, and just looking for places to look/advice.
The first time was on a similar day temp wise, got the warning and throttle back and did a precautionary landing. I checked oil levels, looked for anything obvious, etc. and nothing seemed off. Took off, everything was back to normal and flew for another 1.5 or so with no issues/oil temp warning and everything seemed back to normal. I've had several flights since with no issues/warnings.
Yesterday, It was only mid/low 50's yesterday- I was in level flight after a gentle climb to 2500-3K feet when I started getting an alarm to check oil temp
Still low time on the aircraft/engine (IO-390), but the jumps in temp seem pretty unachievable to me.
I checked grounds, and am now thinking sending unit or could this be the vernatherm?
Thanks in advance- Short vid attached
